    New HP Elite x3 for $399, certified HP Lap Dock for $179

    Wow -- not a bad purchase for someone looking to have one last link to Windows Mobile. I feel kind of bad for anyone who purchased at retail or paid more than $399 for a used one over the last few months.

    Can X3 get HD Voice on ATT like my 950?

    Second this. HP considers the X3 to be "AT&T Certified" but this doesn't mean that it's compatible with every AT&T feature. FWIW, HD voice was also a non-starter on T-Mobile. No VoLTE function on either US carrier.

    HP Elite X3 on TMobile

    Unfortunately the X3 does not support T-Mobile Band 12 which is necessary for adequate coverage in some areas. In my city I was able to get by without the Band 12 support, but it also got hairy for me if traveling into more rural areas. Since the device is not certified for VoLTE, band 12 is...

    which is better Lumia 950vs Hp Elite X3 vs Alcatel Idol 4s ?

    I will give some short opinions here. First off, I purchased an AT&T Lumia 950 at launch but returned it and purchased a 950XL since I felt it to be the better device. I sat on the Idol 4S but do have the BlackBerry DTEK60, based on the same reference design but running Android. My daily driver...

    Elite X3 still worth it in mid 2017

    I have been using the x3 as my daily driver for the past three months. After some random issues in the initial setup it has been going OK. As someone who has bounced between BlackBerry (in the BBOS and BB10 days) and Windows Mobile over the last 10 years, I felt it might be the last hurrah...

    Fitbit app -- syncing issue with latest update

    For anyone who was experiencing an issue with Bluetooth sync with the Fitbit app -- it appears to have been fixed with an update pushed out to W10 and W10M devices today. All is well so far -- knock on wood.

    Fitbit app -- syncing issue with latest update

    I have up on the live tile about a month ago, very wonky. I ended up just pinning the smallest tile to my screen so that the tile is never live. On my PC I have kept the live tile pinned and all it ever shoes is some badges earned ages ago. Who knows what's going on... Are you having the...

    Fitbit app -- syncing issue with latest update

    There's some of us having similar issue on the Fitbit forum. Looks like its a Bluetooth issue, but who knows yet.

    Fitbit app -- syncing issue with latest update

    Is anyone else experiencing this? This seems to be an issue with the latest app update for Windows 10. I use my Fitbit products with the Windows 10 app -- normally synced to a Windows 10 phone via Bluetooth. I started to notice this issue on June 3rd, although it's possible it was occurring...

    Case Rant

    Sorry for the delayed response -- haven't been on here much. I did modify the dock as you mentioned to get it to fit. For the last few weeks I have actually gone without a case since the x3 really does feel bulky with any case on it whether I am pocketing it or holstering it. I am also starting...

    Battery life on CU

    My experience after the update has been similar but not a big deal since battery life actually seems better.... Just being measured a little bit differently.

    Thinking of getting x3

    Odd, not sure if you have the standard wireless charger or the wireless fast charger, but the fast charger (the flat, disc shaped one -- not that stand-up one) works perfectly fine with the x3 for me.

    Battery life on CU

    My total battery life does seem similar, just being accounted for a bit differently now. After my phone dropped to 80% in a matter of 30 minutes I then installed today's update and watched an hour of videos on YouTube with only a 10% battery loss... All done on mobile data too. Kind of weird.

    Battery life on CU

    Anyone else notice that the battery life sticks at 100% for a very long time and then the battery discharges at a very quick pace relatively speaking? Just to give you an idea, my phone was at 100% for 6 hours and has now dropped to 84% with just some light use in the last 45 minutes. My...

    Mobile Hotspot on T-Mobile US

    Kind of weird. The consensus among us x3 users here and on the Microsoft forums has been that T-Mobile is troublesome. Maybe restoring from backup also permanently restored a registry entry like I am having to manually edit.
